Stone World, in partnership with the Natural Stone Institute, has resumed its in-person Stone Summits for 2021. The first one launched in Ohio in July followed by Pennsylvania in August. 

Cambria recently unveiled four new designs in its palette of quartz products. Following design launches in February and June, this introduction brings the total to 12 new designs and one new finish.

Elena Amadini, exhibition manager of the stone and design area, took time to speak with Stone World about what to expect at this year’s in-person edition of the international stone show

Contemporary Stone & Tile Design asked several leading experts to share their observations on the latest influences and styles. Here is what they had to say.

So, what are the latest styles or trends in stone and tile design? We talked to several leading industry experts to get their thoughts, and they all shared similar observations.

Contemporary Stone & Tile Design caught up with designer Alena Capra of Alena Capra Designs in Fort Lauderdale, FL, at Coverings 2021 to gain insight into what is trending in tile designs these days. 

While I have seen booked-matched slabs form shower and bathroom walls, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces and even used as an interior accent wall, I have never seen ones used so creatively as a striking headboard in a bedroom.

While it might not have been quite the crowd of exhibitors and attendees that typically fill the expo floor, Coverings 2021 was certainly still a successful show. After having to reschedule last year’s event in New Orleans, LA, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Coverings greeted industry members at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
